Impact

An incorrect access control check in the updateSlaveIpList function of TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 lets an unauthenticated attacker overwrite the slave IP inventory state by sending a crafted MQTT message to the cs_broker component. The flaw permits unauthorized modification of the device’s IP configuration, which can undermine the intended network settings. The impact is focused on configuration alteration, granting the attacker control over how the device communicates with other devices or networks.

Affected Systems

TOTOLINK T6 devices running firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 are affected. No other firmware versions or other TOTOLINK products are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 indicates a high‑severity vulnerability. Although the EPSS score is reported as < 1 %, the likelihood of exploitation remains low. The flaw can be leveraged by sending a custom MQTT message to the cs_broker component; if the MQTT port is reachable, no authentication is required, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to alter configuration. This vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the device to the latest firmware released by TOTOLINK that resolves the access control issue in updateSlaveIpList.
  • If MQTT communication is not required for the device’s operation, disable or block the MQTT port on the cs_broker component to eliminate the attack surface.
  • Configure network segmentation and firewall rules so that only trusted hosts can reach the cs_broker on the MQTT port, restricting exposure to untrusted networks.
  • Monitor MQTT traffic for anomalous messages and alert on unexpected configuration change attempts to detect exploitation.
